The mission is important due to the sample return. There is no Solar Electric propulsion according to the mission website, it was performed by a standard monopropellant.
"What are you talking about? Boeing can't compete on a level playing field? Who are they competing with again?"
I was more looking at the fact that they essentially wrote the tanker contract that the AF didn't need, then improperly hired the DoD civillian who had managed it, and the $1 Billion in penalties paid because they ended up with all kinds of Lockheed documents so they could underbid them. The commercial portion of their business is too scared to try new designs until they realize they have no other choice.
More so than the US it seems. With NASA pulling the funding on every new shuttle replacement just before it starts working and our commercial aerospace industry relegated to Boeing, who seemingly can't compete on a level playing field, it seem slike all the exciting advancements are going to happen in China and India.
But economics is all about abundance. That's the supply-demand curve.
Though this brings up the point that you might be able to wreck economics with incredibly cheap assembly of anything, anywhere, anytime, but we're not about to get to that.
If customers want popcorn at Easycinema they will have to bring their own, says Mr Rothnie.
Hells yeah! Instead of paying out the nose for chemical goop, you can bring your own $0.30 bag and your own $0.30 bottle of soda. Oh wait... I guess we do that already anyways...
Perhaps I'm not fully investigating this (I haven't seen it yet, but will tomorrow when I won't wake people up) but isn't this a bit like the Footage in Gibson's Pattern Recognition?
But the real question is, can the Sweedish Chef utilize any of these techniques to hot-rod his hat?

I'm hoping that it's long absence from the screen doesn't kill it by making people find other shows to watch. From what I've seen on scifi.com we aren't getting new shows until April. And it's no longer running daily, so I just hope that they didn't just lose their fan base.
I'm sure government contractors are wishing they made the missile (and charged for it) that shot down the "high flying" startups. Then again, they do have the third world to bomb now.
I can't believe that THIS is what gets us/.ed... Couldn't they at least have gotten someone to make the tree grow somethign wierd? They do it with mice...

Perhaps you are thinking of the SMART-1 mission?

It seems to me that this might finally explain why lightsabers require crystals... at least to get the cool colors.
Iiiiinput!
So they're finally going to make something good come out of the Short Circuit movies?

At least we know someone still cares! I'm glad that the code I'm working on in graduate school might involve valid programming language experience...
